Aspyr! I was a Mac user in an era that was 95% Windows, and Aspyr brought quality games over to our side of the pond. I remember they ported Alpha Centauri in particular, but there were lots of other ones too.

Also Bungie back in that era—they were Mac-exclusive and putting out the amazing Marathon series. I was heartbroken when I saw the trailer for the new “Marathon” game that looks nothing like the originals.

Hard to pick but early to mid 90s era Maxis, Bullfrog, Bungie (Pathways/Marathon/Myth era), Blizzard, and SEGA all come to mind. All either gone or changed.

Apogee Software for Rise of the Triad, Blue Sky Productions for Última Underworld and Bullfrog Productions for Syndicate.

I can’t see the name Apogee without hearing the fanfare.

I miss Wacky Wheels.

Wacky wheels is the best kart racer ever. Fite me.

I won’t, because you’re right!

I’m always reminded of finding and playing the midi files from the game music on my 486 as background music.

Arcanum’s main theme gets my vote.

It’s weird. It’s terrible as music - just random strings with almost no recognizable tune outside of the first few seconds - but it sets a mood better than any other. It’s distilled melancholy in music form.

💯 percent this piece of music makes me feel things

Westwood I had fun with Red Alert 1 & 2 for a long time. Super casual player though.

DMA Design and Stainless Studios.

I use the F-Zero start screen tune as my alarm clock.

SSI for Dark Sun. They merged into Mindscape which then dissolved according to Wikipedia.

Quintet for the Soul Blazer/Terranigma/Illusion of Gaia trilogy. They just kinda disappeared in the early 2000s.

For me it’s Civ 5’s theme, always gives me chills

Such a fantastic song. Not at all surprising that it was the first piece of music from a video game to not only be nominated for but to win a Grammy.

I like this video with it.

Dice with the OG Battlefield 2 on PC. That’s what I mostly played. Now I haven’t touched a BF game in years. None have lived up to that game yet.

• Red Alert 2
• Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Probably Metroid Prime. Both the Title Theme and the Menu Theme are fantastic.

Xenoblade games also have brilliant title themes. Here’s the one for the first game.

Now, for some spice, let’s branch into a type of game I think most people here won’t have played - Visual Novels often have great title themes.

• Muv-Luv Alternative’s “Crash” is pure hype
• Both Steins;Gate’s “Gate of Steiner” and Steins;Gate 0’s “Messenger” are great themes too.
• I also love VA-11 HALL-A’s “Hopes and Dreams”.

I cannot get over how good the Metroid Prime menu theme is. It’s both chill vibes and an absolute banger at the same time.

DmMacniel, rok temu do gaming w What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness?

Rainbow Arts (Turrican on Amiga), Maxis (SimCity) and Digital Illusions (because of their pinball games)

All of them gone except Digital Illusions which became DICE.

I was going to say Digital Illusions but for Motorhead, the racing game. The OST for that game has been in my music rotation for decades and it’s still in my top 3 of all time.

A fellow old person! I’ll add Ocean Software and US Gold from the Commodore era.

One of the best fighting games

One Must Fall 2097

A little bit of nostalgia always helps too

Woah, wasn’t expecting to see this answer here! OMF is my favorite one hands down.

A close second would be the music for Jazz Jackrabbit.

That one was so good.

Haven’t played this game in decades but instantly started hearing the song in my head when I saw your post.
